Confused about what to serve your children? Wondering whether juice, sports drinks, energy drinks, or milk are recommended? Kids tired of plain water?

Follow this advice:

Water and plain nonfat white milk are the best. Juice is not recommended (not even 100% fruit juice).

A few tips if you want to offer some alternative drinks (besides just water) at home to add variety:

  • Decaf herbal teas are fine, as long as they are unsweetened. Mint and chamomile are great examples.
  • Slice up fruit, like tangerines or cucumbers, and put it in a pitcher of water. Leave it in the fridge, and the water will absorb the flavor.
  • Vegetable shakes or other healthy shakes (look in the recipe section).
  • Note: Make sure your plastic bottles and containers are BPA free.
